similar to: polr in MASS

In Venables \& Ripley 3rd edition (p. 231) the proportional odds model is described as: logit(p<=k) = zeta_k + eta but polr apparently thinks there is a minus in front of eta, as is apprent below. Is this a bug og a feature I have overlooked? Here is the naked code for reproduction, below the results. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ --- version

Hi all, I'm trying to discover the options available to me for logistic and linear regression. I'm doing some tests on a dataset and want to see how different flavours of the algorithms cope. So far for logistic regression I've tried glm(MASS) and lrm (Design) and found there is a big difference. Is there a list anywhere detailing the options available which details the specific

Sirs: I have a Ubuntu 6.06 samba 3.0.22 file server running on linux. I am attempting to update the file server to ubuntu 8.10, samba 3.2.3. I have been attempting this, intermittently, for some time which is why 8.10. I have 10 MSDOS (mostly 6.22) workstations as a part of the network. The ones that have to run, control production machinery on the plant floor. Updating the operating system on

Hi all, The nobs method of (MASS:::polr class) takes into account of weight, but nobs method of glm does not. I wonder what is the rationale of such design behind nobs.glm. Thanks in advance. Best Regards. > library(MASS) > house.plr <- polr(Sat ~ Infl + Type + Cont, weights = Freq, data = housing) > house.logit <- glm(I(Sat=='High') ~ Infl + Type + Cont, binomial,weights

Hi everyone, If I compute a "Ordered Logistic or Probit Regression" with the polr function from MASS package. the summary give me : coefficients, Standard error and Tvalue.. but not directly the p.value. I can compute "manualy" the Pvalue, but Is there a way to directly obtain the pa.value, and I wonder why the p.valeu is not directly calculated, is there a reason? exemple

I'm trying to write some functions extending influence measures to multivariate linear models and also allow subsets of size m>=1 to be considered for deletion diagnostics. I'd like these to work roughly parallel to those functions for the univariate lm where only single case deletion (m=1) diagnostics are considered. Corresponding to stats::hatvalues.lm, the S3 method for class

I am new to R, ordered logistic regression, and polr. The "Examples" section at the bottom of the help page for polr<http://stat.ethz.ch/R-manual/R-patched/library/MASS/html/polr.html>(that fits a logistic or probit regression model to an ordered factor response) shows options(contrasts = c("contr.treatment", "contr.poly")) house.plr <- polr(Sat ~ Infl +

Hi, I have been struggling with this problem for some time now. Internet, books haven't been able to help me. ## I have factorial design with counts (fruits) as response variable. > str(stubb) 'data.frame': 334 obs. of 5 variables: $ id : int 6 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 31 34 ... $ infl.treat : Factor w/ 2 levels "0","1": 2 2 2 2 1 1 1 2 1 1 ... $ def.treat :

Hi, I have the following code from Splus that I'd like to migrate to R. So far, the only problem is the arima.filt function. This function allows me to filter an existing time-series through a previously estimated arima model, and obtain the residuals for further use. Here's the Splus code: # x is the estimation time series, new.infl is a timeseries that contains new information # a.mle

Hi, I found that using different contrasts (e.g. contr.helmert vs. contr.treatment) will generate different fitted probabilities from multinomial logistic regression using multinom(); while the fitted probabilities from binary logistic regression seem to be the same. Why is that? and for multinomial logisitc regression, what contrast should be used? I guess it's helmert? here is an example

Is there any reason that rstandard.glm doesn't have a "pearson" option? And if not, can it be added? Background: I'm currently teaching an undergrad/grad-service course from Agresti's "Introduction to Categorical Data Analysis (2nd edn)" and deviance residuals are not used in the text. For now I'll just provide the students with a simple function to use, but I

I would like to do a SS type III analysis on a proportional odds logistic regression model. I use drop1(), but dropterm() shows the same behaviour. It works as expected for regular main effects models, however when the model includes an interaction effect it seems to have problems with matching the parameters to the predictor terms. An example: library("MASS"); options(contrasts =

Dear list members, The polr() function in the MASS package takes an optional weights argument for case weights. Is there any way to retrieve the case weights from the fitted "polr" object? Examining both the object and the code, I don't see how this can be done, but perhaps I've missed something. Any help would be appreciated. John ------------------------------ John Fox,

Hi! I'm trying to do a lm() test on three objects. My problem is that R protests and says that the variable lengths differ for one of the objects (Sweden.GDP.gap). But I have double checked that the number of observations are the same. All three objects should contain 9 observations but R only accepts 9 observations in two of the objects. The third must have 10! Very confusing because there

Sirs: We are a Vinyl window manufacturing plant in central Washington State, USA. We have been running linux with samba for file and print services for eight or ten years now.

Full_Name: Heather Turner Version: 2.2.0 OS: Windows XP Submission from: (NULL) (137.205.240.44) Standardized residuals as calculated by rstandard.lm, rstandard.glm and plot.lm are Inf/NaN rather than zero when the un-standardized residuals are zero. This causes plot.lm to break when calculating 'ylim' for any of the plots of standardized residuals. Example:

Dear all, We have redhat 9 linux server configured with samba server. We have share folder in which we have lot of information. We want to all the users from our different branch office to access the samba server and share the information. In the local network we map the samba share folder as a drive. How to do the same in the remote location. Pls guide me. Regards M.Saravanan CCAT LTD 302,

Hi all, I have a problem to estimate Std. Error and t-value by ?polr? in library Mass. They result from the summary of a polr object. I can obtain them working in the R environment with the following statements: temp <- polr(formula = formula1, data = data1) coeff <- summary(temp), but when the above statements are enclosed in a function, summary reports the following error:
